Google scripts usually work fine in XOOPS blocks; it just may take a little time for them to display - had to wait 24 hours on one site.

Re: Why does Xoops use .html, when it should be .tpl?

Wizanda raises a good point.

I've been testing out a lot of new and innovative CMS packages in the past few months. Very few of them (as well as their themes, plugins, extensions, and/or modules) use html files. The majority seem to use .tpl files these days. Some don't use them at all. Everything is set up in a config.php file or other .php files. They appear to run quite a bit faster than xoops, but I don't knowi if .tpl vs. .html vs. .php is the reason.

OOPS! Missed a step. You'll also have to change your site's url in mainfile.php fromhttp://mysite.com tohttp://mysubdomain.mysite.com and then change it back when you're done. Also, don't forget to change to permissions to a secure setting when you're done.

First, I would back everything up.

Then I would create a subdomain for the site and have the path to the XOOPS site I'm working on point to the subdomain.

Next, I would create a directory that the original url pointed to and and put an index.html file in there.

Next I would change the path in my mainfile.php to point to the new path to the subdomain. (Hopefully, you don't have anything hardcoded into your theme or module templates that point to the old url or path.)

Now you can work on your site/subdomain in peace.

When you're done,

1. Back up your work (but don't overwrite your first backup.)

2. Restore the original path to your site's url.

3. Change the path in mainfile.php to its original designation.

4. Get rid of the subdomain.

Usually works for me. Usually

This might work; I think it's still in beta:https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3706

There is also a module called Moodle for XOOPS. I have a copy of it, but have never used it or seen it at work. Let me know if you want to try it.

I believe there is also a module called OBS Classroom - not too sure. You may want to google it and see if it's available.

You could try this:

<td id="centercolumn">
                    <!-- 
Display center blocks if any -->
                    <{if 
$xoops_showcblock == 1}>
                        <
table cellspacing="0">
                        <
tr>
                            <
td id="centerCcolumn" colspan="2">
                                    <!-- 
Start center-center blocks loop -->
                                <{foreach 
item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}>
                                  <{include 
file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_c.html"}>
                                <{/foreach}>
                                <!-- 
End center-center blocks loop -->
                            </
td>
                          </
tr>
                          <
tr>
                    <{if 
$xoops_showclblock == 1}>
                            <
td id="centerLcolumn">
                                    <!-- 
Start center-left blocks loop -->
                                  <{foreach 
item=block from=$xoops_clblocks}>
                                <{include 
file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_l.html"}>
                                  <{/foreach}>
                                <!-- 
End center-left blocks loop -->
            <{else}>
                    <
div id="content">
                      <{
$xoops_contents}>
                    </
div>
                            </
td>
                    <{/if}>
                                <
td id="centerRcolumn">
                                <!-- 
Start center-right blocks loop -->
                                  <{foreach 
item=block from=$xoops_crblocks}>
                                <{include 
file="default/blocks/theme_blockcenter_r.html"}>
                                  <{/foreach}>
                                <!-- 
End center-right blocks loop -->
                            </
td>
                          </
tr>
                        </
table>
                    <{/if}>
                    <!-- 
End display center blocks -->
              </
td>


The only problem is that the center right column has to appear on every page, or the content won't appear. Kind of sloppy, but it works. I bet someone could come up with some better logic than what I'm using.

Hope I wrote it right; it's late and I'm exhausted.

Thanks for the input blueteen and tmreg. Much appreciated. I had a suspicious feeling that there would be issues with that aspect of the theme. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Resized Image

Thanks again,

Hello,

Would someone (especially someone with a large monitor) take a look at this site, please?

The theme I'm using was originally fixed width, but I needed to change it to a percentage. Now I'm kinda worried about how the header image shows up on a large screen.

The theme also had no centerleft or centerright blocks. I think I got the ones I made to display ok, but I'm biased and half asleep.

It's still in its preliminary stages and not quite ready for prime time, but I'd like to catch the mistakes now.

Appreciate the help,

gestroud
